Ben Affleck is in negotiations to direct Warner Bros.' political thriller "Argo," set up with George Clooney and Grant Heslov. Project centers on how the CIA, with help from Hollywood and the Canadian embassy, used a fake movie project to smuggle six Americans out of Tehran during the 1979 hostage crisis.
The CIA used a disguise expert and concocted a scenario that involved the six being a Hollywood crew scouting a movie titled Argo. Under those disguises, they were able to flee the country. Legendary comics creator Jack Kirby's movie designs and drawings were used by the CIA to sell the existence of the movie. Chris Terrio wrote the screenplay and David Klawans is also a producer on Argo.
